In it he is announced a new Software Engineering Academy
supported by Union Square Ventures' Fred Wilson, who helped fund
the project. The Academy will be a new high school in Union
Square; it will open its doors in September.

"With support from venture capitalist Fred Wilson, this September
we'll be opening a Software Engineering Academy, the brainchild
of one of our own teachers -- Mike Zamansky from Stuyvesant High
School," said Bloomberg.

"The new school will be located in Union Square -- home to a
growing tech community that includes companies like Yelp and General Assembly. Those are the
kinds of companies we want our students to work for or to start.
And to encourage the next generation of entrepreneurs in every
field, we've launched a pilot program for 2,200 students who are
developing business plans with other students around the world."

Bloomberg says he plans to open at least a dozen new career and
technical education schools in the next two years.
